Mission Statement

According to knowledgeable and experienced people, India is going to become a super power in the fields of Computer software, Pharmaceuticals and manufacturing industries. It was said that the battle of Waterloo against Napolenon was won by the British on the playing fields of Eton, their famous public school. India can win its super power position only in the class-rooms of its high schools where students are trained in the mental faculties of analytical and logical thinking with conceptual understanding of subjects like Mathematics and Sciences. Inspired and guided by Sri C. Ramaiah, our founder-trustee and academic advisor, Gurukula Vidyapeeth High School was started to impart education of excellence with the aim of nurturing the future scientists, technologists, doctors and leaders in other areas of intellectual activity.
A good education is the foundation on which great personalities in the fields of science and technology, art and culture, business and politics are shaped. The fame and fortunes of the nations are built only by such individuals who receive education of excellence. The basic principle of imparting good education is “Know your student”. Children differ in intelligence, interests, aptitudes and capacity for hard work. But the individual talents
can always be nurtured and developed by adopting proper educational methods. We consider it to be our mission to do exactly that to our students.

Students can be broadly divided into three categories: intelligent, average and backward. However this categorisation is not final. In our experience we have seen students progress from lower levels to higher levels of achievement in studies by application of proper education methodologies and bestowing individual attention to them. Therefore, at the high school stage, no student be condemned as useless and incapable of improving.

In out school, students of each class are grouped into 3 sections after taking into account their abilities and standards of achievement at that point of time. Teaching in class-room, assignments and supervisory study are programmed depending upon the academic level of the students in each section. For the purpose of paying individual attention to students, the strength of the sections in each class and overall strength of the school is limited.

The general tendency among parents and teachers to lay too much stress on marks in examination is really unfortunate. High school education is the stage where the thinking power and creative talents of the students have to be developed besides giving due importance to marks in examinations. A residential school, in which students are available all through the day, gives great scope not only to improve academic grades of the students but also to develop their all-around personalities by encouraging them to participate in extra-curricular activities.

Keeping in view these ideas we adopt the following education methods and practices in our school

  • After laying a good foundation in learning the subjects of study, students are allowed to develop academically at their own pace free from any stress. All the fundamental concepts in Mathematics, Science and Languages are taught thoroughly. By providing constant motivation and guidance, students are helped in developing interest and showing improvement in studies. Multimedia facilities are made use of the teaching difficult concepts, especially in science subjects.
  • We place special emphasis on teaching Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry in the IIT(Foundation) course to those students who opt for it in Classes VIII, IX and X. The objective of this course is to develop the analytical and logical skills of the students so that the concepts they learn in these subjects who take this Foundation Course fare well in higher studies and in competitive examinations for selections to Engineering (IIT) and Medical Courses.
  • Habit of regular and systematic study of the subjects is inculcated among the students. To achieve this objective, emphasis is first laid on constantly improving the quality of class-room teaching by recruiting the best teachers by giving them the necessary incentives. This is followed up by organizing remedial classes to the needy students. Supervisory and self-study sessions are conducted keeping competent and dedicated teachers and tutors in charge.
  • No undue pressure is exerted on students merely to get more and more marks without proper understanding of the subjects. However, periodical tests and examinations will be conducted and after assessing the performance of the students in these tests and examinations, individual coaching will be provided to them to improve themselves from time to time.
  • To ensure mental relaxation and development of total personality, students are encouraged to participate in extra-curricular activities like games, music, dance and painting according to their talents and interests. To improve their intelligence, concentration and memory power, students are trained in pranayama and meditation.
  • We recognize the all-pervading importance of computers in modern times in every walk of life and have taken adequate steps to strengthen computer education in all classes.
